Why not allow users to select what modules to have in a display similar to Compare but for the whole chapter, instead of creating custom Bible modules?

Bible Parallel now has a special link to Arrange Bibles for Parallel (Free, Premium and Deluxe), and selectable list of named selections for Jellybean and higher (Deluxe).

Tapping the location marker fiber_manual_record shows location information. A link to lookup dictionaries is also available for the Deluxe version.

Below are Bible maps for Mat 4:25; the first uses Rumsey's Palestine Jerusalem at 100% opacity; the second is at 0% opacity using NASA as the modern map; the third is also at 0% opacity using OpenStreetMap.FR as the modern map:

This is an alternate to the (Blue) Gear button at the bottom and can be hidden in Preferences->Display settings (can also be shown in phones, though it will cramp the upper buttons area).

New Display setting: Scroll auto select verse. Scrolling that causes the current verse to be out of view will automatically select a visible verse adding to navigation history and syncing also other views in case of split view.

Support for special commentary link/href of the form of 'c-* verse' or 'c-= verse' for Kitkat and higher for module creators:

'c-* verse' will show a list of commentaries that has entry for the verse, a popup showing the commentary entry will appear when a commentary is selected. In case there is only one commentary where it is found, the list will no longer show.

Morphology links with codes not found in the selected Morphology dictionary will be automatically looked up on other morphology dictionaries so that different formatting or codes like in BIB can use its internal dictionary instead of the RMAC.

Bibles with many verse rules now load a little bit faster (e.g. BHSE).

Editor improvements:

Support for abbreviation with spaces in dictionary, commentary and book links.

Note that the edited content is not directly saved to overwrite the original content but only the difference with the original content (diff patch) is saved in format file. If there is a significant change in the original content (updated module), some diff patches may not work because of missing anchor context.

It is initially configured for TS2009 and the associated dictionary with 2 Hebrew word entries mapping to English equivalents, and two quotes used in Hebrew names transliterate to English. Please see the file on how to extend it and use for other modules as well.

Speeds greater than 1 now have proportionate faster pause between verses.

Popup improvements:

Dictionary popups now has a heading that can be tapped to see the word in other similar dictionaries for Kitkat and higher. This is useful for example in Strong's popup and you want also to see it in AHLB without going back to the Main view. For Strong's, the equivalent Hebrew/Greek word or phrase or break down of words in the phrase are also looked up so that Hebrew/Greek dictionaries are also used.

Auto-detect verses now included the following book abbreviations: Gn, Lv, Nm, Dt, Mr, Jo, Rv.

New preference: Compact buttons opacity. You can now adjust the opacity (default 70%) of the compact mode buttons and page scrollers. Please see the Display settings section.

'd-=word1%09word2%09word3' will lookup the tab delimited words beginning with the leftmost and using exact or no accent (if available) match.

'd-=Strong' will lookup not only Strong but also Hebrew/Greek dictionaries. Actually all dictionaries will be looked up except those whose abbreviations are in the active settings.mybible tabletsettings table entry for strong.lookup.exclude.list (default to all English/Bible dictionaries).

In case there is only one dictionary where it is found, the list will no longer show.

Better no accent dictionary word (if dictionary has it) support: switching between 2 dictionaries with different accent but same no accent is now possible.

Editor improvements:

Popup notes Full editor now supports images just like the Tag notes editor.

Added Find in Page in Mini Bible viewer (Premium).

Detect verses now included the following book abbreviations: Gn, Lv, Nm, Dt, Mr, Jo, Rv.

Reading Plan (Deluxe) bug fixes:

Multiple readings are always ordered by Bible books and not by original tracks like in M’Cheyne (e.g. day 1 should be Gen 1, Mat 1, Ezr 1 and Act 1; Mat and Ezr should not be reversed).

M’Cheyne Aug 4 to Dec 31 should have Psalms first before Luke/John.

Bugs Fixed in Version 7.3.1

MySword 7.3.1 is just a bugfix and there are no new features added. The following are the bugs fixed:

Support for Lemma lookup for Bibles with Morphology and parsing info like Byz2005++, GRV, GRVx, TR and TRa:

The lemma link is placed besides the Morphology key

The Greek and Hebrew Lemma dictionaries for lookup can be set on the Preferences. The default for Greek is either LSJ or MLSJ if present. Currently, there is no official Hebrew dictionary that can be used for Lemma lookup yet except SEC of BHSE (which is just based on BDB/Thayer/Strong).

The dictionary lookup is no accent if the dictionary supports it like the LSJ and MLSJ.

Lemma lookup can also be used for Strong's dictionaries: The Original line with Hebrew and Greek words afterwards will have individual word links in case the Lemma dictionaries are selected (multiple words lookup will not do). This is useful for KJV and those with Strong's but no Morphology Lemma entries so you can directly link to other dictionaries like LSJ or MLSJ.

Editor's Mini Bible Viewer (Premium) improvements:

Modern theme is now supported.

Added Copy verse button before the Close button to copy the currently selected verse into the Editor.

In WYSIWYG, taping a Bible link then opening the Mini Bible Viewer will automatically go to that verse and translation.

Used - only those that are currently used (use count is not zero). This is useful for making the Tag screen load faster.

External - icons in the external folder (named icons) only. Note only the icons on the root folder are listed.

sub-folders inside the external folder. This is useful for grouping external icons. Please note that in case you manually move icons from the root to sub-folders for organization purposes, take care to update also manually the folder field of the tag records affected in tags.mybible file tags table using an SQLite Manager.

All - note that this does not include the sub-folders for performance reasons.

Text - no longer includes used external folder icons.

Filter type and filter text/key are now saved in the settings database so that they are remembered in case of reboot or MySword is evicted by the Android OS from memory.

Added Menu->Default placement so you can select other than Default.

Delete tag used in verses is now possible but with confirmation code.

Bugs Fixed in Version 7.3

List selection highlighting is not properly working in Android Nougat in Standard and Dialer, Editor's add image and the Deluxe Group Bookmark and Verse List.

Find in page for all views in the main screen via Menu useful for locating text within a page for non-Bible modules.

WYSIWYG Editor improvement: popup link as a new type of hyperlink for popup text which also had an option to use a full WYSIWYG Editor.

When any Bible is deleted, navigating back via history to a Parallel view will cause a crash.

When the last in the list is deleted in Commentary or Dictionary, navigating back via history could cause a crash.

Bugs Fixed in Version 7.1.1

Search for Diff between two Bibles in Parallel Diff mode (Deluxe). Please note that when you are in Parallel Diff mode view and went to Search, the Type and Keyword is not used as the Search switches to Diff Search. The search will be fast with the following Parallel Diff settings: Ignore case; Ignore accents/diacritics; Don't include titles, notes, XRefs, Strongs; and there is an Exact Index for search. Narrowing the book range also will make it fast so please start with a narrow range.

Editor Detect verses improvement: Sng, Zeph and Zech abbreviations for Song of Songs, Zephaniah and Zechariah were added.

Share Compare Bible (Premium) now allows you to select which translations to share.

Parallel view (Premium) improvement: In non-paragraph mode, the column width can be adjusted via touch and drag of the top header only when the entire width of the table fits because the horizontal panning takes precedence over touch to resize.

You can also type arbitrary sentence on the Search box to look for similar title or content.

New Stats and other info features (Deluxe) for Gingerbread and higher:

Summary - display summary sentences only of the current page; inside the brackets is the rank and score (1 is normal sentence score) then followed by the sentence number

Summary highlight - display the current page highlighting the summary sentences; the highest rank is given a stronger highlight color (search highlight color was used)

Summary of clipboard - display the content of the clipboard highlighting the summary sentences

It is not intended to get the most important sentences or get insights from God's word but just to aid study. Please pray for the Holy Spirit for more revelation instead.

anchor name ends with - means text from the anchor up to before the next anchor (if any) only will be included; e.g. ##goal1-

anchor name followed by - then another anchor name means up to before the second anchor name; e.g. ##goal1-goal4

anchor name without - means old behavior including whole content for book/journal but not for dictionary; e.g. ##goal1

Added search type: Regular expression (No accents). Using the same index used by Exact and No accents search types, Java Regular Expression pattern matching is used on the app-side and not the database-engine side unlike the other search types so this is slower (4 to 5 seconds in Nexus 7 2012 edition searching ISV). But you can achieve exact search for example: \bcry\b will only match the exact word cry as \b is for word boundary. This search is for advanced search.

Added Help in the Menu or Action bar which explains the differences among the search types. Examples are given as well.

Bugs Fixed in Version 4.3

Multiple chapters verse range popup in ISV displays only the first verse.

Multiple words quoted search for Non-Standard search type does not highlight the result in case there are tags in the verse like italic. Introducing the Strong's, morphological tags and translators' notes links as popups in the search improvements of MySword 4.2 caused this issue.

In the Dictionary word selector and Journal/Book topic selector, characters with glyphs below the baseline like letters g, p, q and y are clipped when Android is set to Large or Huge font size.

Words of Jesus in Red preference (Premium) when turned off is not off in Search results and Popups.

Bible links as popup does not use the specified Translation in the link (e.g. [[Joh 3:16/KJV]] will still use the current translation even if it is not KJV).

In full screen mode, tapping the tag icon with notes toggles the display of the buttons.

Save navigation history limit of 100 or higher slows down the startup. Galaxy Y with 175 entries almost hangs it while Sony Neo L with 200 entries slows down to 120 seconds start. Faster devices are faster.

Note and journal Bible links in languages whose book name is in Greek or contains extended Latin characters do not display and work properly.

Tapping pictures to be viewed in Android Gallery crashes the gallery in some devices running ICS 4.0.4 like Sony's.

In the Editor, if there is a !" followed by another ! after some text, that will be treated as an image so it looks like the text is cropped.

Creation or recreation of search index for Books fails because of null tags.

Any tag can be positioned relative to the verse: before, at the beginning, at the end or after.

Any tag can also be custom positioned: after any word in the verse (only the word number is saved so this is translation-specific).

Any icon tag can have a custom size.

Ability to add multiple tags in the same verse, even the same tag multiple times.

Ability to change the size of the icon tag.

Search improvements:

X button on the right of the Search Keyword input for clearing text.

Search highlight by selecting the highlight color.

Search tags by specifying the tag and/or keywords in the note.

The number of items per page default to 10 can now changed via Menu.

Strong's numbers in the Bible search results are now distinguished using the same color as Strong's numbers link in Bible view.

synonyms.txt is now also used in Commentary and Dictionary search for FTS search - Standard (Premium) and FTS Exact (Deluxe).

Better support for Bible links in FTS search by considering also the Short verse version when the text is different. For example, in v.1 link text, the actual verse cannot be matched so the actual verse is also appended to v.1 like v.1 Joh 1:1. This requires reindexing the FTS Standard or Exact.

Enable/disable double/single tap for full screen setting is now respected.

Preference option to make Bible links popup.

Preference option to use Nice popup where text can be selected and copied and links tapped.

Preferences grouping/rearrangement: the long Look and Feel is now divided into common items directly displayed (themes, size, language), Other Look and Feel that contains most check boxes, and Fonts containing the 4 font selections.

Navigation back history is now saved upon exit up to a default limit of 25 which can be changed in the Preferences. The Preference can be set to Do not save history.

Animated page navigation (page transition). This is disabled by default and can be set in the Preferences, Display section.

Interlinear view preference. Bible module tag support for Q, E and extended WH/WG used by interlinear Bibles like The Apostolic Bible Polyglot (ABP).

Bible view support for poetry tags in paragraph mode (Premium). Currently only WEB (all versions), NHEB (all versions), ISV (new) and LEB have those tags. The old version of ISV and NET only support basic poetry but is sufficient.

New Bible Preferences (Premium feature): Show Notes, Show Tags.

Highlight words similar to Search highlight but for the main views (Deluxe feature). This is useful for temporarily highlighting words you are studying.

Export Page and Notes/Journal to file now supports optional include images (Premium feature). Icon tags and Notes indicator can also be included for Bible chapter export.

Faster search by automatically using the selected text or the Clipboard text similar to fast dictionary lookup (Deluxe feature). Select a text in any view then long tap the Search button at the bottom.

Split screen sync/unsync setting is now remembered (Deluxe feature).

Bugs Fixed in Version 4.0

The following bugs were fixed:

Add Current Verse button/menu does not include line separator for previous content making the text one continuous paragraph. This feature is available in Search as button or menu and in Mini Bible Viewer (Premium).

The editor when loading notes or journal with images always converts the file names to lowercase. If the image is located in the internal memory or any folder that supports case-sensitive file names, the image may not be properly displayed.

Index creation for KJV and other Bible modules with Strong's tags creates a corrput index because the word before the Strong tag is joined with Strong. This makes both unsearchable.

Sometimes, the initial load of a Bible verse other than verse 1 still do not scroll down properly in ICS and Jelly bean.

Bookmark manager for Deluxe version for Tablet's Group selector on the left pane do not change highlight in Jelly bean 4.2.

Image selector for Editor bugs:

The selected item does not highlight in Jelly bean.

The image preview in the list does not show if the Journal is just created and a restart of MySword is required. The image is also not displayed in Journal view without restart.

The selector may crash if the images added and listed are very big in terms of width and height dimensions due to Out of Memory problem. Several 5 MP pictures may cause a crash.

In the Save Picture dialog, a big image that is added has a bad preview requiring a scroll down.

In case there are many big images and it did not crash, display and scroll can be very slow.

Bugs Fixed in Version 3.5.1

The following bugs were fixed:

Verse Selector / Text-to-speech Settings bug:

Slow load due to reinitialization of settings and module manager. The original load time of less than 1 second to 1 second became 2 or 3 seconds for regular devices or even as long as 70 seconds for installations with hundreds of modules or slow SD card.

Reinitialization causes having two instances of the managers that are not in sync causing the Personal Notes Editor to be locked on the initial verse and the Journal Editor to crash.

Editor restarts with Failed to initialize null if Android reclaims memory when you switch to other apps.

Other screens restart with Failed to initialize null or crash if Android reclaims memory when you switch to other apps.

What's new in Version 3.4

Text-to-Speech support for Bible view.

Note that the Text-to-Speech engine of Android must be setup first properly before this will work.

Also, it is advisable to use advanced human-like engines and voices like the paid SVOX Classic or the currently free-while-in-beta IVONA.

Long tapping the Play button will show the Settings where you can set the volume, pitch, speed, repeat mode (repeat page or continuous), and background instrumental music.

Button icons are optimized and made clearer/sharper for low (ldpi), medium (mdpi) and extra high (xhdpi) pixel densities. Some icons are also optimized for high (hdpi) pixel densities. The following devices will benefit most:

Made the Exact, No accents (diacritics), Full-text search (FTS) - Standard, and FTS - Exact / No accents indexes case-insensitive for non-Latin characters like Greek. You will need to Reindex indexes created in old version of MySword.

Search Limit (Premium and Deluxe) is now saved so that when you exit MySword, it is remembered the next time you search.

Search history is now sorted such that the most recent search key is on the top and not at the bottom. This is very helpful for many items in the list requiring scrolling. Reusing an old key will move it to the top.

Search history is now saved (into the settings database) so that when you exit MySword, it is remembered the next time you search. Only the most recent 50 search keys are saved. Long tap the Search History button (down arrow) to change the limit.

Added clear search history button in the Search history dialog. It also clears the saved history.

Unmatched double quotes can now be used: if ends only with a double quote, a beginning double quote is automatically added; if starts with double quote or there is one double quote somewhere in the middle, an ending double quote is automatically added.

If you will be launching search from Bible Compare or Parallel, the Bible translation that will be selected (default to the first in the list) will now be remembered.

Verse Selector improvement: clicking the verse will now automatically go to the verse so you do not have to tap Select.

Share content now includes all apps that can handle text/plain MIME type like Email, SMS/Messaging, Google+, Twitter, etc (Premium Feature). Facebook does not support Android Share action so please use a proxy or aggregator like TweetDeck or Seesmic.

Delete Personal Notes entry will not delete the FTS Exact index entry which causes insert error for the same verse.

Create FTS may insert wrong rowids so any updates are not reflected in the index.

Updating notes whose verse is not the same as the current Bible verse (may happen if you select verse or use the previous/next buttons) will change the internal current verse to that of the Bible's because of wrong refresh of the Bible view, so the next Add/Edit will show a wrong verse (the current Bible verse).

FTS (Standard and Exact) search result for Personal Notes is not sorted by verse but by record order. The fix requires reindexing.

Fresh install leaves empty folders in the default path if different path is chosen, and the default path as well as the new path previously do not exist.

Search and Download screen when closed by Android to reclaim memory if you open other apps may cause a forever spinning progress dialog when you go back to MySword and Android restores the Search or Download screen. Clicking back is not possible and a Force Close in Android Settings->Apps is necessary to restore original behavior.

Only the default user is supported in Jelly Bean multi-user tablets because only the default's data path is accessed so other users will throw permission denied exception.

What's new in Version 3.3

Search Improvements:

Changed the FTS search type check box and Create index to a combo box to accommodate more index types.

The following are the 5 index types (search types):

Standard - the original non-FTS search (available in all versions)

Exact - (new!) non-FTS exact word/phrase search (Deluxe version)

No accents (diacritics) - (new!) for accent/diacritic free search (available in all versions). This is useful for Greek, Latin and other European languages

Synonyms for FTS search in Personal notes and Journal. The synonyms.txt file is located under the mydata folder which can edited and expanded using a text editor. The file initially contains bible book abbreviations. This feature is useful for search like this: "Prov 4:7 which will also match "Pro 4:7", "Proverb 4:7" and "Proverbs 4:7". Note that this feature is disabled when NEAR operator is used.

The FTS boolean keywords AND and OR and proximity operator NEAR are no longer highlighted.

Strong's tags are now displayed in the Bible search result and included in the FTS search (you will need to regenerate the old FTS in KJV and other modules with Strong's by redownloading the module). They are also included in the new Exact, No accents (diacritics) and FTS Exact / No accents searches and indexes.

Toggle Bible Compare button in the split preview (Deluxe version)

Added All, OT and NT range as well as Jump to book shortcut in Select Verse to speed up the selection.

Added button to open ES File Explorer to choose a folder for Select Modules path, Backup/Restore and Export page/journal/notes to file.

Bibles, Dictionaries and Commentaries lists are now sorted by Abbreviation and no longer by file name.

Fonts selection list is now sorted alphabetically.

Added new Preferences:

Alternate Greek Font. You can now use a font that do not support Greek for English and for the Greek text in the Bible or other modules, the Alternate Greek Font will be used if specified.

Alternate Hebrew Font. Note that because of ICS and Jellybean bug, Roboto font is used in case of nikkud.

Alternate Extended Latin Font. This is useful for TS1998 as well as the transliteration in Strongs dictionary.

Moved even the secondary/tertiary titles at the front of the verse to be displayed before the verse number.

The Editor's Insert Bible Link now memorizes the previously selected or searched verse.

Cross-references in Bible and journal links in Journals should open in other split windows in Deluxe.

Added more symbols in Insert Symbol / special character (some requires special font) and added Hebrew characters (Premium). The symbols display now uses the selected font.

Custom CSS @font-face with relative URL (no file://) is now automatically set to the fonts folder of the modules path.

Exposed the Editor menu items Toggle fullscreen, Save and Preview Notes icons in the Action Bar for Honeycomb and up.

Bug's Fixed in Version 3.3

The following bugs were fixed:

Select Modules Path not properly registering a different one other than the default in 3.2 or 3.0 Deluxe in Split mode. It is able to change the path but the old is displayed and used in export, backup, restore as well as create new Journal.

Restored back the Bible abbreviation display in the header for single translation parallel view lost in version 3.1.

Last Hebrew word in TS1998 verse will swap with the next verse's number in paragraph mode if there is no paragraph break.

Copy verse sometimes have <CI> and <RX...> tags.

In Premium or Deluxe, the Bookmark screen will no longer open when there are no modules in either Dictionary or Commentary view which can cause a crash when a bookmark is added.

Preview of content with table is not properly styled in Search and Editor making the header text not readable in some situations (dark background).

Added sort button to sort the Bible bookmarks by bible book order. Tapping again sorts descendingly. For Premium, Commentary and Notes bookmarks are sorted similarly, Dictionary by word, Books by title and Journals by id or title.

Grouping of bookmarks (Deluxe feature). You can add or delete a bookmark group, show specific group or show all. The old bookmarks are placed under Default group.

Show all bookmarks for all modules for Commentary, Dictionary and Journal/Book types (Deluxe feature).

Search improvements:

Shows a spinner progress dialog for searches exceeding one second.

Added sort button to Journal/Book Search screen to sort by id or title ascendingly or descendingly or by relevance (Premium feature). The original behavior is just sort by relevance.

Added the ability to search several modules of the same type (Bible translations, Commentaries, Dictionaries or Journals/Books) at the same time (Deluxe feature). The result is sorted by Bible book order for Bibles and Commentaries with the module abbreviation placed besides the verse. For Dictionary the result is sorted by word then module while for Journal by chosen sort order in the sort button.

Added Insert Table to the insert button of the Editor (Premium feature).

Added Insert File Link to the insert button of the Editor that launches an external File Explorer like ES File Explorer, Astro File Manager or AndExplorer to select a file (Premium feature).

Faster dictionary lookup by automatically using the selected text or the Clipboard text and selecting the setting-specified dictionary (Deluxe feature). Select a text in any view then long tap the Dictionary button at the bottom.

Better automatic column width adjustment for Parallel view in Paragraph mode. The old is based on the Web Browser default which is determined by the first paragraphs only and not the whole content.

Auto-refresh the Notes/Journal Split view (Deluxe) in Editor when it is displaying the currently edited content and the Save button is tapped.

Added CSS class for common text colors: orange, brown, yellowgreen, green, bluegreen, blue, violet, purple, pink, gray. Note that red is already available and used for Words of Jesus in Red. This is very useful for module creators so as not to hardcode colors to make the display compatible for different themes. This can also be used in the editor, e.g. %orange This is orange%.

Allowed a space before or after the colon in Bible verse reference, e.g. [[Joh 3 : 16]], which is needed to support RTL tweak so that the chapter and verse will properly be in RTL. Consequently, references in copy/share verse includes a space after the colon for Arabic/Hebrew UI language.

Stretched the UI buttons (bottom and top except the Notes) to fill in the gap in large tablets.

Initial install in ICS or higher with normal size screen now defaults to Dark Holographic Theme.

Bug's Fixed in Version 3.2

The following bugs were fixed:

Bookmark force closes in Premium/Deluxe version when there is no entry in the active Journal.

Cursor is invisible in the Editor when in light holographic theme and black background color theme.

Some force close scenarios reported on Google Play.

Copy verse range in Editor Split view (Deluxe) can change the current verse to the last verse number selected.

The Prev/Go to top/Next navigation is included in share dictionary, commentary, notes and journal/book entry.

Parallel view in paragraph mode highlights only the first column unless the whole page is reloaded.

Background image is not shown in Search and Preview (search and editor's).

Opening the Editor without split (Deluxe) then changing to landscape with split causes a crash.

Journal Ids and Book titles (which are internally the same as their Ids) with unmatched parentheses, square brackets and curly braces will cause a crash when those topics are selected. E.g. Eder.-History's "17. Jehoiakim..."

Verse Selector highlight is not moving when new book, chapter or verse is selected in Jellybean.

Bugs Fixed in Version 3.1.1

The following bugs were fixed:

Sometimes the Bible do not scroll properly to the currently selected verse in Bible link tap, Verse select, Translation selection and History navigation. This more often happens in ICS.

Fresh install does not create the 7 default journals if Sample Journal is downloaded.

First load of Sample Journal shows does not go to the Table of Contents (-TOC).

When all Bibles are selected and sorted alphabetically in Parallel View Arrange screen, Parallel View will not work as the setting is cleared.

What's new in Version 3.1

New Preference: Single tap in Full screen - enable/disable the single tap in full screen to temporarily show the buttons.

Support for Language specific Book names in Bible modules displayed in the Bible view as well as Verse Select screen.

UI localization support using downloadable language module. Currently, the following languages are available for download: Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian), Tagalog.

Improved book identification in verse link that can be used in manually typed verse link in [[]] or Enter verse dialog (long tap of Verse Selector). Common shortcuts like Lv for Leviticus, Mt for Matthew and so on are added. Also, verse link that is solely book name with space is now properly linked like 2 Kings.

Links with comma are now properly linked like [[Mat 4:5,6]] which goes to Mat 4:5 instead of Mat 4:1.

Simple external file link support using http:// and file:// in the editor (links that starts with www. or / are converted into http://www. and file:///, respectively). For file://, Android native file extensions currently supported are: png, gif, jpg and jpeg for image; mp3, ogg and mid for audio; mp4, mpeg and 3gp for video; and others are treated as text/html MIME type. Appropriate applications must be available in the Android device.

Added smcaps CSS style for small caps that can be used in the Editor as well as other modules.

New Bible view button: Bible view preferences - short cut for paragraph mode, words of Jesus in red, show Strong's tags, Morph tags, translators' notes, title and with verse line spacing (Premium version only).

Reference/Translators' notes popup text now follows the zoom level higher than 125% (Normal). It is scrollable for long text.

Insert date, date/time, symbol/special character (Premium feature). Premium shows the symbols in popup up dialog while the Deluxe in split view over the Module preview on the right.

Support for Bible tag <FU><Fu> for underlined (used in Wilbur Pickering New Testament WPNT) and <FO><Fo> for OT quotation (currently only used by KJV and the new KJVLite and must be manually formatted for CSS using style name .ot; you can enter: .ot{font-weight:bold} ).

Bug's Fixed in Version 3.1

The following bugs were fixed:

Swipe left/right to go to previous/next page also fires in diagonal swipes which some users had noted. The sensitivity is now limited to 30 degrees or below (with respect to the horizontal) diagonal moves.

Create new Journal does not fire an error if the file already exists causing duplicated entries in the Journal spinner (drop-down list) even though a new journal is not created.

Initial install then download of modules always fail on the Sample journal because of wrong file name. However after restarting MySword the next try will work because the downloaded file list has a correct file name.

Link tap in Deluxe version does not look for similar module type on the right view first but always from left to right.

Highlighting and add/remove Personal verse notes in ICS may not scroll back to the current verse.

There is an unwanted space at the beginning of the table if it was preceded by a list (bullet or number) when loaded to the Editor. This causes the table to be broken when saved.

Problems with Select Modules Path other than the default path:

Fresh install cannot use non-default path because MySword 3.0 is still using the default path.

MySword cannot run if the default path cannot be created (/sdcard is not writable if the there is no SD Card in some models).

Upgrade from MySword 2.4 which used non-default path cannot use that path because MySword 3.0 is still using the default path.

Reinstall (uninstall/install) cannot use non-default path because MySword 3.0 is still using the default path.

View settings like navigation positions are not saved sometimes upon exit.

Some force close due to NullPointerException.

Fresh load of MySword then going to a new book for the first time will show there are no entries and suggests to create one. This may also happen when a link to a journal entry is clicked and you switch to a new book.

Fresh install of MySword may create 2 copies each of the 7 default journals, one copy in the journals folder and another in the journalsbig causing "Failed to initialize UI. Invalid location -1, size is 0" in the first run. The latter folder is supposed to be empty. The duplicate only happens if the file system is not FAT32/VFAT and file names are case sensitive (SD Card is normally formatted as FAT324). Succeeding runs will show duplicate entries in the Journal selector.

Reference/Translators' notes popup long text is not scrollable if font is specified.

The Journal Id and Dictionary Word selector buttons are too narrow in Holographic Theme for High density screens and a little narrow for QVGA.

Table header text is not visible in Black background because the CSS is hardcoded. It should just follow the Parallel table color.

What's new in Version 3.0

New Preferences:

Orientation (Automatic, Portrait or Landscape). Some tablet devices default to Landscape when Auto-rotate screen is disabled but if the user wanted Portrait, the Auto-rotate sometimes is distracting. This preference will select the preferred orientation.

Button size (Normal, Larger). The larger will be very useful for tablets like Galaxy Tab 8.9/10.1 especially for people having difficulty with small icons.

Honeycomb Theme (Default, Holographic Dark or Holographic Light) for Honeycomb and up tablets. Honeycomb and up tablets now default to Holographic Dark but the user still can change the theme. Galaxy Tab 8.9/10.1 users will be happy to see the UI especially button text to be easily readable. The UI is now better integrated with Honeycomb.

Main screen improvements:

Changed the Previous/Next Chapter/Verse buttons on the top from Up/Down to Left/Right arrows to be more intuitive.

Split screen where each view can have its own module type (Bible, Commentary, Dictionary, Journal/Book, Notes) which can be in sync or unsync. This is Tablet Deluxe version.

Search screen improvements:

Added Go to selected and Scroll Page up/down buttons at the bottom.

Split screen with search details and item results on the left pane (MySword 2.0 or lower) and preview of whole Bible chapter and contents for other types on the right. This is Tablet Deluxe version.

Added highlight button that displays the highlight colors that can be used to highlight selected text. This uses the %classname text% MySword textile wiki syntax.

Improved the Bold, Italic and Underline button action behavior so that when there is no selection the cursor is placed in between the Wiki tags and not at the end so the user can just type the text he wanted to be emphasized.

Split screen where the orginal editor is on the left with a Module viewer on the right (the Premium version Mini Bible viewer is just a Bible viewer but this right pane can display also other module types). This is Tablet Deluxe version.

Reorganized the modules and database paths by moving all the databases to the modules path's specific folder per type: bookmarks.mybible, highlight.mybible and settings.mybible go to mydata folder; versenotes.mybible goes to notes; all bibles formerly on the top folder are moved to bibles folder, books to books folder, commentaries to commentaries folder, dictionaries to dictionaries folder, and journals to journals folder. This will now easily enable easy folder synchronization with Cloud storage servers and thus sync your PC notebook/desktop backup and your Android devices.
